From Then Till Now

Killah Priest

Peace Killah Priest



Peace wassup man?



Chillin baby



I'm with you



Yo.. I wanna know what's goin on



Ever since that Basic Instruction Before Leavin Earth



I wanna know what you gonna do for us right now



It's been a while baby we waitin!



I've just been chillin been chillin



I been in the lab writin and stuff y'know?



I just been on my y'know knowhatI'msayin on some



Guns shootouts and crack sales



Black males who pack jails, trapped in hell



No peace, cold streets, surrounded by po-lice



this whole week, buildings with no heats



No lights, the gas pipes the snow leaks



Dog fights and lowlife throw dice the whole night



Thieves, creepin



in the midnight evenings, saw through the misty regions



Go to your house, take a vial for the demons



Moon in, the lunar eclipse



Prophets stand in the midst of the seven candlesticks



I can't take it, beauty that was once sacred



is now gettin facelifts, fake tits, and fake lips



Cold embraces



Memory erases, from the slaveships



My princess, I used to spot her from a distance



Holdin my infant, burnin incense



The moment intent, for her to step into my wife tents



Now we step in pre-sents, for your ebony prince



The small of frankencense; once treated like a pharoah



With royal apparel, annointed with myrrh and aloe



We used to wallow, amongst the mallows



We had herd sheep and cattle, now we battle



Used to pass over Brooks of Qe'ron



Towers of Lebanon, the pool of Gechron



We used to sing songs, upon Mount Hebron



How is gold turned to bronze, and shhh....



How is gold turned to bronze



We was the wisest and the richest, now we turn to snitches



Women turn to bitches, in the time of harvest
